How to Sign Up for Soil Testing

Check to see if you live within the 1.7 mile radius shown on this map. You can also call DTSC at 1-844-225-3887 to find out. Only properties within this 1.7 mile area are eligible for soil testing at this time.

If you live within the 1.7 mile area, owners or tenants can give permission for soil testing by signing an Access Agreement. Select the appropriate form below:

Once the access agreement is received, DTSC will contact you to schedule soil testing.

The testing crew will take five small samples of soil in your front and back yard and will also test your outside paint for lead. You do not need to be home for the testing.

Once the soil test results are confirmed, DTSC will let you know if your yard will require cleanup.

If cleanup is needed, DTSC will schedule a convenient date for you. It takes about a week to remove the contaminated soil, replace it with clean soil, and re-landscape. After the cleanup, DTSC offers an interior cleaning with a HEPA vacuum, and other surfaces cleaned to remove dust.
